Tbh mostly I'm curious about how you manage to come up with coherent names for your poems??? Like whenever I name poems, drawings, and parts of stories (not really chapters, I just tend to write BDEF in random excerpts and then somehow connect them together so each except is in its own tiny word document), I come up with the weirdest shit?? Like half of the titles is incomprehensible shit like "Lonelier than Pygmalion, more artificial than Galatea" or "Staring at her like she's the sun, not with love but with disgust" and the other half is shitpost shit like "How to lose your father quick and easy: a guide for beginners" or "How to disappoint yourself in 3 easy steps". Like I can't imagine how you come up with normal stuff like "A Plea"??? Like how do you do that?
you name things like Fall Out Boy, I love that
generally I just name thing what it is. A Plea is named that because it was a plea for them to seek someone who could actually help them, but it was mostly just pleading into the ether by that point because obviously they weren't listening. like that's just what it was. Leannán Sídhe is named that because it's told from the perspective of that type of fae. there's a story that I've been writing for years called Below Floor 18, about a future with a freakishly high complex of connected skyscrapers covering basically whole countries, but a zombie virus broke out on the lower levels and ground so it was entirely sealed off (leaving everybody on those levels to just die), and periodically they send prisoners down below floor 18 (to where the virus is) to find out if the zombies have all finally "died off", like death row but with extra steps if you think about it. the book follows a group of criminals as they venture down. you get three guesses why it's called that. see, I'm just a simple man: I see a thing, I name it that.
#they have to send people down because all the maintenance stuff fell into disrepair over time#so the cameras don't work and shit#the prisoners do have a secondary task of checking what structural integrity and shit they can#but usually don't make it that far#robots are kind of an option but signal drops off quickly and since they don't smell like food#dormant zombies are less likely to react unless a robot hits them#and then congrats you've just lost an expensive robot and all the materials therein#so you have an increasing populace trapped in an area with technically limited resources#how can we get away with culling the population and also not wasting money on robots#Ah yes increase the number of capital crimes then throw people to the zombies that'll work#so tldr population control and also because you wanna wake the zombies#but you don't wanna lose expensive shit by waking the zombies lmao
